What Is This?

Green. Definitely alive, at one point. Is it an alien landscape, captured by some NASA probe and enhanced in post production? Hulk’s blood? Not quite, but close. The answer is a bit more earthy than that:

It’s tree blood! Chlorophyll, to be precise. It’s been sandwiched on a microscope slide, photographed and delivered to your eyeballs by Tara Cronin, a photographer who created this image, and one that’s a bit more intimate, as part of her “T for Transition” art series.

The more intimate one is a bit easier to figure out:

Yup, blood. Her blood. She keeps a small vial in her fridge and apparently photographs it for art shows from time to time, because, well, why not?

Apple’s iOS beats Android 6:1 on the Web

Apple’s iOS mobile operating system is now the third-most popular platform on the Internet, with a share nearly six times larger than Android’s, a Web measurement company said Wednesday.

Collectively the devices that run iOS — the iPhone , iPod Touch and iPad — accounted for 1.1% of all hardware on the Internet last month, more than enough to shove Linux off its perch as the third-place operating system on the Web.

For the month of August, Linux fell to a 0.85% share, the third month in a row that the open-source operating system lost ground. Windows and Apple ‘s Mac OS were the No. 1 and No. 2 operating systems on the Web, with 91.3% and 5%, respectively.

Isilon adds iSCSI

Isilon is adding iSCSI block data access to its OneFS operating system, meaning its scale-out filer product is now a scale-out, unified storage product.

There is a VMworld angle to this, with Isilon ferreting out a user, John Welter, technology VP at the North West Group, who said that with Isilon, “we can power our block databases and NFS-based VMs all from one, simple solution.”

The iSCSI access is added to the existing file-based access and shares the same pool of storage with its cloning, thin provisioning, snapshotting, tiering, replication and security.

Sam Grocott, Isilon’s marketing VP, was asked about FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and said: “Scale-out is a challenge for all data. F
